The Penetraitors are a four piece street-punk band based in the Nürnberg/Erlangen area of Germany. They went through a few minor line-up changes in the beginning, but now have settled upon a strong lineup featuring the old farts Kübel on vocals (ex-Brassknuckles), and Joe on guitar and bass (Something To Burn, Doc Wör Mirran), along with young-uns Jojo on bass, guitar and vocals and Indy on drums (both ex-The Chopped) . A very democratic band, each member contributes lyrics and music, making this band very diverse in their approach to street/Oi punk. A few fun and well picked cover songs make their live shows legendary.

This two song 7" is another entry in our "MT Lite" series of cheapo, one sided vinyl releases featuring photocopied covers, all in an effort to put out records by new bands that are so cheap that anyone can afford them. Here we have the Penetraitors with two Chuck Berry songs that put these great songs into a whole new perspective. Seriously, have you ever expected to hear an Oi! Oi! chorus on "Roll Over Beethoven"? They also do a killer version of a lesser known Berry track "30 Days".

Releases:
The debut release, this killer four song 7" vinyl only release is a worthy addition to the time honoured tradition of 7" vinyl punk rock EPs. Recorded in the fall of 2004, these four original songs represent the best of two years of songwriting and practicing. Side one starts off with "Scum", followed by "Run For Your Life". Side two features "Get Off The Air" and "Nothing About Me". Includes poster insert, featuring complete lyrics and photos.

Number 30 in the series of saw-blade shaped records by Musical Tragedies sees none other than Germany's premier streetpunk band the Penetraitors team up with the old-school legends Rat Scabies (The Damned) and Derwood (Generation X) for this split David Bowie tribute single. The Penetraitors offer a blistering version of Bowie's classic Suffragette City, while Der "N Rat offer up Lady Grinning Soul. Both songs are new recordings, exclusive to this release! Red vinyl and a tasteful, full color cover round out this fun release.
